Biggest defeat for Democrats since the 13th amendment freed their slaves?

Yes, democracy and freedom were on the ballot and they won. Here is one commentary about what a Republican victory would mean:

A GOP victory on Tuesday not only flips the media’s figurative table over, it flips over the table of government in favor of empowering people. It flips over the table that is addicted to spending and racking up trillions of dollars in debt every year. It flips over the table that spends those trillions of dollars on other countries while increasing taxation on American citizens. It flips over the table that cleans up San Francisco for when China’s president arrives but can’t do so for American citizens. It flips over the table of every lie you’ve been told about Joe Biden’s mental health when you could clearly sit at home and watch with your own two eyes how poor of a state he was in. It flips over the table of identity politics and looking at everybody by their race, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality under the guise of fighting discrimination. And most importantly, a victory for the GOP on Tuesday flips over the table of trying to stifle the most important God-given right of them all: our right to free speech.

Is this the biggest defeat for Democrats since the ratification of the 13th amendment?

the draining will be interesting…

I suspect that the draining will just end up being an ooze, not a flush. Too much power has a tight grip in the swamp.

But even just pouring off some of the grease floating at the surface is a start. And maybe over the next 4 years the growth of the swamp will be stopped.

Ditto the reduction of bureaucracies. A thousand doors need to be nailed shut. Maybe we’ll get a dozen closed. But at least it’s a start.

I think the flush is still too expensive (and this was in 2016)
